There should have been a specific edition for toilet reading called The Fart Side.

My parents had the Desiderata 'poem' on the back of the toilet door when I was growing up, so I read it a thousand times. Being older and reading it again, it's a beautiful sentime…

My laymans understanding is that poorly written scripts get executed and then owner comes back occasionally to check that there is 'content' in their database. They're not sitting …

My understanding would be that, if an API is available, then bots are essentially welcome. If no API is available and the website has to be 'visited' then it seems that it's intend…

The attitude you're describing seems startlingly common, as if it's not the actual site owner that has made the active choice to block something that's causing them trouble. They a…

> I wanted the information and I have no way of getting at it without investing my own time and effort in going to your website. And this is a complaint? I find nothing in this sta…

Seconded!

It was a pretty shithouse experience as a non-logged-in user before Musk, but it's a worse experience now. Timelines were all over the place before Musk got his hands on it. And if…

I wonder when the re-building part is going to start for all the stuff that DOGE tore out.

> At this scale it's pretty mind bogglingly difficult to moderate down everything. Well that means don't do the thing that you can't control, or they shouldn't be legally allowed t…

I'm making this about me, so feel free to skip past this. I've been married for 26 years, which means I'd only have 10 more years with my wife, which would take us almost into reti…

> Is the Trump family just going to own all of our entertainment and military companies? Are we the Bad Guys? Not any more. Now we're the Worse Guys.

So we can expect Battlefield: Iran sometime soon? Starting the propaganda for a ground invasion. I wonder if this one one of the crowd-sourced ideas submitted to the DoD?

Yeah, fair point, it's pretty well outside normal for me (there's a world outside of my lived experience? Nah!)

Go short soon before the next US election maybe? But you're right in terms of, if they don't get bailed out it could bring pain to certain demographics that any side of politics do…

... and inevitable. It's even predictable and inevitable based on that fundamental tenet of capitalism: the market. It's weird kinda knowing what the outcome is going to be, but no…

Say what?! It sounds extremely obvious and infinitely practical. How often are you (or your parents) legitimately asked for money via email / internet? I mean, my answer is: never.…

It is interesting looking at a long term chart how obvious that it was due for correction. Having said that, it's easy to say that after the correction because 'the top' is impossi…

Feels like the future that Accelerando (predicted / foretold?) describes is in its infancy, whereby automation/AI has the capability (and therefore uses it) to evolve at a rate bey…

I watched it maybe 12 months ago and had a similar 'parallel to AI' realisation. A singular voice for all of humanity. Gives me the creepy-shivers.

That is so perfect I'm going to steal it and post it on my work's Slack channel as my own.

I have a new rule that I will attempt to follow: For every game I purchase, I shall also download and archive a pirated version. If it is not possible to download a pirated version…

I'm hoping Tesla reincorporate Lidar (and Radar) because it will mean that they are able to put reality ahead of politics. Musk being who he is, however, I'm not holding my breath …
